Mr Sheerman said the ?writing had been on the wall? since 2010 when then Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, reduced the weighting given to health inequalities in the funding formula from 15% to 10%.

MP Barry Sheerman has slammed plans to cut NHS funding in Huddersfield.

As reported, a decision is due this week that will decide how much cash Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England will receive to fund healthcare for their areas.

This money is used to for a wide range of GP and community health services, including some hospital care, mental health services and community nursing.

Proposed figures published by NHS England show Greater Huddersfield CCG would have ?21m shaved off its current budget.

Calderdale and North Kirklees could lose about ?25m each.
